Abstract

An object oriented architecture for building user interfaces is presented. It is based on a finite state machine with a stack for translating system input events into application dependent events and on a “best fit” method of looking for an object to process an event. As a result, the user can more easily understand the implemented interface environment and the programmer can more simply code it.
